Living Luck

When I imagine myself as I could have been born
The hand of cards that I’ve drawn
Is better by far
I’m transformed.

I’m much smarter and stronger, so cool,
Better looks too
Always choosing
Exactly the right thing to do

But there’s no point in dreaming who I might have been
Or fearing one day I’ll lose what most never see
A fluke brought me here, now it’s my life to make
Cos this ordinary luck’s an extraordinary break

Sometimes my life seemed pointless and it sucked
Now I’m revelling and rejoicing in my luck
Cos passing time’s let me see
This chance of mine’s set me free
All those crises no price while odds lie with no life
Don’t think twice, it’s all part of this roll of the dice

Now from the crowd full of jostling possible people
Though their chances seem equal most will never be
They outnumber by far us here fumbling but free.

This one time luck
like lightning struck
only hit us lucky few
There’s no chance
I’ll let my one chance
be the one I blew

Every moment I’m alive
Is a moment I feel lucky
Every day that I survive
Is a day that I feel lucky
I’m gonna live every day
I’m gonna make my own way
I’m gonna take my luck and live it like a life
Yeah, I’m gonna take my luck and live it like a life

Guess it’s random who won this strange game of roulette
I‘m sure we aren’t the folk on who you’d place your bets
May be chance we were born
But some chances we get
Circumstances we’ve met
These aren’t set
Any way that’s OK

Life’s dice are loaded we’ve showed
Can’t just blow as you roll
Dice fall same odds for all
That’s our goal

Cos we’re all pacing down lines to the same destination
Can’t go wasting my time in some lame resignation
I’ll raise my head high and feel that elation
My whole life is one lucky long special occasion

I’m gonna stand up, shout out and live every day
And nothing and no-one’s gonna stand in my way

This one time luck
Like lightning struck
Only hit us lucky few
There’s no chance
I’ll let my one chance
be the one I blew
